NEXPLANON should be removed in the event of a thrombosis. Due to the risk of thromboembolism associated with pregnancy and immediately following delivery, NEXPLANON should not be used prior to 21 days postpartum. Women with a history of thromboembolic disorders should be made aware of the possibility of a recurrence.
NEXPLANON is indicated for use by women to prevent pregnancy.
Broken or Bent Implant. There have been reports of broken or bent implants, which may be related to external forces (e.g., manipulation of the implant or contact sports) while in the patient’s arm. There have also been reports of migration of a broken implant fragment within the arm.
After starting NEXPLANON, women are likely to have changes in their menstrual bleeding pattern. These may include changes in frequency, intensity, or duration. Abnormal bleeding should be evaluated as needed to exclude pathologic conditions or pregnancy. In clinical studies of the non-radiopaque etonogestrel implant, reports of changes in bleeding pattern were the most common reason for stopping treatment (11.1%). Women should be counseled regarding bleeding pattern changes that they may experience.
Counsel women to contact their health care provider immediately if, at any time, they are unable to palpate the implant.
Implant removal may be difficult or impossible if the implant is not inserted correctly, inserted too deeply, not palpable, encased in fibrous tissue, or has migrated. If at any time the implant cannot be palpated, it should be localized and removal is recommended.
Co-administration of certain hormonal contraceptives and strong or moderate CYP3A4 inhibitors may increase the serum concentrations of progestins, including etonogestrel.

Note: Z codes represent reasons for encounters. A corresponding procedure code must accompany a Z code if a procedure is performed. Categories Z00-Z99 are provided for occasions when circumstances other than a disease, injury or external cause classifiable to categories A00-Y89 are recorded as 'diagnoses' or 'problems'. This can arise in two main ways:
In 2012 CPT 11975 was dropped. The correct code to use for Implanon is now 11981.

The denial reason states that; N56: Procedure code billed is not correct/valid for the services billed or the date of service billed; These are non-covered services because this is a routine exam or screening procedure done in conjunction with a routine exam.

A modifier 25 (significant, separately identifiable E/M service on the same day as a procedure or other service) is added to the E/M code to indicate that this service was significant and separately identifiable from the insertion. This indicates that two distinct services were provided: an E/M service and a procedure.
For example, if an established patient is seen for 25 minutes, including 15 minutes spent counseling, report code 99214—this code lists a “typical time” of 25 minutes. The level of history, physical examination, and medical decision making do not matter in selecting this code. Not all payers recognize time spent counseling. Providers should consult third-party payers before instituting this coding practice to ensure compliance with specific plan guidelines.
If reporting both an E/M service and a procedure, the documentation must indicate a significant, separately identifiable E/M service. The documentation must indicate either the key components (history, physical examination, and medical decision making) or time spent counseling. In order to report an evaluation and management visit based on time, more than 50% of the visit must be spent counseling the patient. When time is the determining factor for the selection of the level of service, documentation should include the following:
If discussion of contraceptive options takes place during the same encounter as a procedure, such as insertion of a contraceptive implant or IUD, it may or may not be appropriate to report both an E/M services code and the procedure code:
